i'm starting to become obsessed with tumblr. i like the format way better than buzznet or myspace, check it out! and def follow me if you have one. it's so bizarre being back in jersey, its been awhile. i went to the thanksgiving day football game at my old high school, and saw a ton of people i hadn't seen since graduation. i got to see my best friend, which was amazing, and then i saw a ton of people that i had no desire to see. i love reconnecting with old friends, amanda and i had legit a three hour heart to heart/catch up session. in my car, in the wawa parking lot. oh, tradition.


hahaha this was taken at a show during like sophmore year. flashback!

i'm going home today, finally. i love manhattan more than anything, but there's no place like the jersey shore. thanksgiving is only two days away, i'm so excited to cook and see my family. it's been way too long, i haven't seen my extended family since my birthday. in september. my two cousins, my grandmother, and i take the same picture every year. here's the 2007 version that i found on my cousin's facebook:


last night's festivities were too much, and i slept through my first class. great. im just ready for this shit to be over. i get to see the best friend tonight, i haven't seen her since she moved to chicago. miss her face. lots of wawa, terrible music, and energy drinks. look out nj, amanda and i are coming to take you by storm xoxo

i am rediscovering my love for augusten burroughs. easily my favorite author, his books have helped me get through so much. he's fucking hilarious.

"We strip each others beauty and we push it to the end,
We face each other smiling and leave it all unsaid.
We kiss till we bleed,
We fight till were free
We cry till we see
Infatuations break us down
Were healing and free
We dance inside this tragedy..."
-automatic loveletter

i'm such an insomniac. i got four hours of sleep and no time to nap wahhh. i need to find stuff for my apartment so bad, but i need the apartment first. i should be moving in after the first of the year, i'm so excited. finally have pictures from the hellogoodbye show! this is what i want with my life...









i want my apartment to be ridiculous. my room at home is neon green, and i kind of want to stick with that. i love decorating, so its going to be fun having my own space. i'm thinking a black couch with ugly dolls instead of pillows...

"Griping isn't the same thing as creating something. Rebelling isn't rebuilding. Ridiculing isn't replacing. We've taken the world apart, but we have no idea what to do with the pieces..."

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think, she said. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. If you do that, you can change the way people live their lives. And that's the only lasting thing you can create."

"I wish I had the courage not to fight and doubt everything. I wish just once i could say 'This, this is good enough. Just because i choose it'"

- Choke, by Chuck Palahniuk

the world is crashing down around me, yet this is the most stable i've been in a long time. i'm ready to move on, yet i'm scared to leave. all i wanted for the past two years was to come here, and its hard to give up on a dream, even if its making me miserable. ultimately, though, i know this will be the best thing for me.

i just found these online, i need them! does anyone know where i can buy them in nyc?

stayed in tonight, i'm laying in bed eating saltines with peanut butter and watching the life aquatic. i love wes anderson, i think hes a genius. his movies are my favorite.


i've been doing laundry and cleaning my room all night. i'm having problems with this school, the people here are the worst. cleaning for me is so symbolic, i feel as though i am cleaning all the crap out of my life. next semester is going to be all about my own apartment and photography classes. no more abercrombie bullshit!

i've been obsessed with innerpartysystem for awhile. my friend discovered them back when she was working for island and they were still the takeover. check out their music, and if you have a chance to go to a show, do it! you won't regret it, i promise xoxo p.s. i'm obsessed with this video

haha a friend wrote this about me...

"you're that girl. the one who always has a cigarette in one hand and a camera in the other. you always have your ipod in your ears, playing some band no one has ever heard of. you never wear pants, always leggings or dresses, you nails are always black, and are always wearing some ridiculous sunglasses. you party like a fucking rockstar but are always able to carry your friends home. you act like your twelve, and really don't give a fuck"

haha its so true. my clothes are ridiculous, and i finally have stopped caring what other people think. i'd rather be at a show by myself than at a crowded bar getting drunk with fake people. these last few weeks have been hard, i lost everyone and have been rebuilding myself. i surrounded myself with dramatic, fake people and it cam back to bite me in the ass. i'm starting to realize who my true friends are, and they definitely weren't the people i expected.





i just got back from the cute is what we aim for/automatic loveletter/a rocket to the moon show. i haven't listened to cute in awhile but they were one of my favorite bands in high school, and it was a lot of fun. such a blast from the past, i haven't seen them since warped '07. haha i love his shirt, obama 08! and automatic loveletter is becoming one of my new favorites, get into it!

the showcase was amazing, i got some incredible pictures. honestly, envy on the coast has been my favorite for years now, and 3OH!3 was surprisingly entertaining. im getting back into the music scene, im over doing the bar thing at college. manhattan has so many amazing shows, and there are a ton of unsigned local bands to check out, why i havent been taking advantage i have no idea.













those are only a few of what i got. obviously, we were close. last night we went to an anything but clothes party. haha i wore a shower curtain. i hated it, the house was so hot and it was a giant slut fest. haha so mary and i left everyone and got sushi. some random guys from suny maritime asked if they could take a picture with her because she was only wearing a bra with a wet paint sign over it. creepers. over all, i had more fun getting ready and hanging out after than at the actual party. typical. pepper tonight! expect more photos xoxo

so exhausted. ziggys last night until 3 am, and i had a 9:30 class ahhh. woke up at 6 am to the sound of my roommate puking in her trashcan, lovely. thats what college is i guess? i'm so over the scene here though, i came here because it was a good school, not because i wanted to party all the time. if i wanted a party school, i would have gone to a cheap state school, not make my parents pay a ton of money for this. last night was bad too, getting trapped at the bar and dealing with bullshit boys. drama drama.



on a better note, photo finish records showcase tomorrow night! i've been so caught up with school work that i've haven't gone to a show since the free bloc party show at roseland back in september. i miss it, i need my music fix. i'm so sick of listening to my roommate's country/r&b/hiphop shit.



i miss my sam. i can't go home though, apparently i'm being cut off, and am not allowed to get a job. how that works, i have no idea. so no seeing the family until thanksgiving, and i'm sure even that will be awkward. greattttt


sam.

your words are all i have
tear me apart with your tongue
beat me until i bruise
i will always come back
begging, screaming for more
without you i have nothing
i will leave, saying that its over
it never is
drug-like, i will always come back for more
you'll play us all
hanging on your every word, i am here if you want me
come and take it
